There was chaos in the world at the end of Qin Dynasty. After Liu Bang overthrew the Qin Dynasty, he was named Hanwang. In 202 BC, after the victory of the Chu-Han dispute, he proclaimed himself emperor and established the Han Dynasty, with Chang 'an as his capital, which was called the Western Han Dynasty in history.
Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han carried out the national recuperation policy and founded "cultural landscape governance"; After Emperor Wudi ascended the throne, he succeeded in "the prosperity of Hanwu". In the Han dynasty, the national strength reached its peak, which was called "filial piety and rejuvenation" in history. In 8 AD, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang abolished the emperor and made Chang 'an his capital, which was called the New Dynasty in history and the Western Han Dynasty perished.
